All Russian pop singers. The most adorable female singers in the world

Nobody in the world knows Soviet and Russian pop musicians. Especially in the West. Nevertheless, musicians from Russia in different time hit the western charts.

All attempts to promote and impose our popular music on the Western public have failed. Russian pop music is very secondary and backward - both technologically and stylistically.

But it has already become a good tradition to hang noodles to the Russian public about the success of certain performers in the West. Comes generally to the ridiculous.

Kirkorov went to Monte Carlo for The world Music Awards- shows of the best-selling performers in their countries, while finding a person in Russia who has Kirkorov's album is quite difficult. Pugacheva, as you know, in 1997 took only 15 a place out of 25 at the Eurovision that nobody needs.

For some reason, Sergei Lazarev sings in English, this is generally the human brain is not able to master. Joseph Prigogine, whose obsession with pushing Valeria to the West, once said in a paid article in a British newspaper that his wife had sold 100 million albums in Russia.

The rapper Timati had the greatest success when Swiss DJ Antoine made a remix of Timati's song Welcome to St. Tropez. The song reached the top of the charts in the world, except for the UK and the USA. In Switzerland, the song took sixth place at the end of the year. This is the peak for our variety performers per recent times.

Which of our musicians really achieved high places in the Western (and this, in a musical sense, primarily the USA and Great Britain) charts and in general is more or less known in the West.

1. Composer Aram Khachaturian-1972

One of the recordings of the music of his ballet "Spartacus" entitled Spartacus, which Khachaturian made together with the London Symphony Orchestra, entered the British album chart in 1972, reached the 16th position and stayed there for 15 weeks.

By the way, his music is so popular in the world that it was even used in such famous films as "2001: A Space Odyssey" by Stanley Kubrick, "Aliens" by James Camero and "Caligula" by Tinto Brass.

2. Boris Grebenshchikov-1989

His album Radio Silence, which was released in England and the United States, peaked at # 198 on Billboard200, despite the fact that it was recorded with the then superpolar group Eurythmics. The video shows BG's performance on the popular TV show by David Letterman.

3. Gorky Park-1990

The success of Gorky Park in the United States cannot be overstated. They did not conquer America. Just look at their chart achievements. On the Billboard Hot 100, they were noted only with the single Try To Find Me (81st place and 6 weeks in the chart), and in the Billboard 200 - with the album Gorky Park (80th place and 21 weeks in the chart).

But Gorky Park was on the whole selling well - 300 thousand copies sold in America alone - this is a very good result. Much better success the group has made in Scandinavia. Gorky Park in Norway came in at # 9 and the single Bang at # 5. In Denmark album Moscow Calling even went platinum.

4. Alsou-2000

With the song Before You love Me "under Britney Spears" got on the 27th place for just a week, during the period when they tried to promote it in Europe after the 2nd place at Eurovision.

5. PPK-2001

The Rostov trans-project PPK with the release of a separate single ResuRection (the melody of Eduard Artemiev from the film "Siberiade" by Andrei Konchalovsky with the voice of Yuri Gagarin) debuted in the UK at once in third place!

The song became the first track from Russia to hit the hot airing of BBC Radio One. Then ResuRection was published in other countries, where it also successfully entered the charts - 5th in the Netherlands, 9th in Belgium, and 15th in France and 36th in Australia.

6. Tattoo-2003

In 2002, the English version of their album "200 in the opposite direction" was released, and Tatu became the most popular Russian group in the world. The girls did not become stars of the first magnitude, and their success was not so long, but they sold about 10 million of their records abroad. This is a result unattainable for Russian performers.

The English-language album today has gold status in four countries and platinum in Europe as a whole, the song "All the Things She Said" took the first place in the UK charts for several weeks, and a cover of The Smiths in 2009 sounded in the TV series "Gossip Girl".

7. Leonid Agutin-2007

In the early 2000s, Agutin began to play concerts, and then recorded the album "Cosmopolitan Life" with Al di Meola, an American virtuoso of the genre. In Germany, the album had more than good sales.

9. Pussy Riot-2012

This is the only group here that has not made it to the Western charts, but it cannot be ignored. From the point of view of music, this is a comic story. The group, whose song no one has really heard anywhere, became the most famous musical group from Russia recently. Suffice it to say that in the West, the Cathedral of Christ the Savior is known as Pussy Riot Church.

Soon after the arrest of Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, Maria Alekhina and Ekaterina Samutsevich, musicians all over the world began to carry out actions in their support - ranging from Madonna and Paul McCartney to Mike Patton and The Knife and Die Antwoord.

10. Anna Netrebko-2007-present

Her recordings are constantly on the charts. classical music, but in some countries they are also included in the general music charts. Especially in Austria and Germany. This is how 15 Netrebko albums got into the Austrian chart .

"I Will" had a chance to hit the Billboard Hot 100, if not for the rule that songs not released in the United States fly past the "hot hundred" cradle of show business.

Valeria - Wild!

In 2009, the singer's single very unexpectedly hit the Billboard Hot Dance Club. The chart shows the popularity of the songs in American nightclubs.

The track debuted at # 48 on a nationwide event. Almost all Russian publications wrote about the overwhelming success of the not most popular singer in Russia.

In the "hot" numbers, it peaked at # 80 and two weeks overall on the Billboard 200. Only one song was able to hit the Billboard Hot 100. Try To Find Me reached 81st line.

Alsou - Before You Love Me

After a successful performance at Eurovision, the singer was promoted as the Russian Britney Spears. But the singer's PR management team did something wrong, and her single Before You Love Me was able to debut in 2001 on the UK Singles Chart only at number 27 and stay on the hit parade for three weeks. Although it must be admitted that the track was no different from the endless pop-gum, which then stormed the American and British charts.

t.A.T.u.

Three singles hit the main UK charts: Not Gonna Get Us, All About Us and All the Things She Said, thanks to which she became the first Russian group to the top of this chart. The song was in the lead for four weeks.

The group also achieved success in the United States. The debut album in English, for example, peaked at number 13 on the Billboard 200.

But most of all t.A.T.u. fell in love in Japan. Here the record 200 km / h in the Wrong Lane sold 1.8 million. At that time, these were record sales among foreign artists.
